Evernote: An Independent Music Teacher’s Handbook

I’m back for my third and final installment on how to implement Evernote into your daily life as an independent music teacher.

While I say this is the “final” video in the series, I’m sure there will be much more on Evernote to come here on Piano Pantry as it’s a program for which I’m quite passionate. Can you tell?

This 3-part video series together is less than 40 minutes. If you’re like me, you listen to single podcasts that are longer than that! Most of us likely spend 30-40 minutes each evening watching a show or video to chill-out. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of us also spend that much time daily reading blogs or posts on Facebook piano teacher groups.

I can promise that if you give those 30-40 minutes just one day to watching the series, it could potentially change the way you handle and organize your studio forever. A strong statement, I know, but I believe it with my whole heart and well, if you know me, you know that for the most part, I say what I feel!

If you’ve never tried Evernote, or you already use it and are thinking of upgrading to a Plus or Premium account, sign-up using this linkand I’ll give you free access to a shared notebook I created for Independent Music Teachers that includes several templates you may find useful in your day-to-day studio-organizing!

Please note that due to processing time, it may take up to a week to grant access to the notebook.

Hi Amy, thank you for the Evernote tutorials. I have used Evernote but have used notebooks. If I want to change over to tags – how do I get rid of the ‘notebooks’? In other words- move stuff to just tags?

Hi, Lisa. Yep, that pretty much sums it up. I would go through one notebook at a time and do a lot of “select all” and add tags to multiple notes at once. Then once you have the notes in each notebook tagged, you will move every note out of its notebook into a one master notebook. Now, all of those notes can be searched in one location but still viewed in separate groups using the tags. I Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions!
